The truck has seen the worse of the worse and at 100+ mph, and not one crack. I had since painted the whole thing black, and still no stress cracks. I am just saying, those of you that think you need to beef up the glass, you would be suprised how strong it really is if you have it mounted in a decent application.
Mordachai, if you make the front and rear skins, I would be interested, as my Blazer will see the same terrain that my old truck did. Weight is also a concern for me. Thanks.
I would soooo love to do that some day!

No intent to hi-jack but how's your build coming along?
